pIMnIG HELD FOR MURDER.

Those who have been reading the evi.
dence OF the Coroner's inquest on the
death Of Henry Benhayon, whose body
was found in a lodging.house in San
Francisco, are not surprised to learn that
John A. DINING, who rented the room
in which Benhayon was found dead, has
been accused by the police authorities OF
murder. DINING was arrested shortly
after the inquest began, but as no COM
plant had been entered against him, he
sued out a writ Of habeas corpus, which
compelled the authorities to show cause
why DINING was restrained OF his lib
erty. In reply to the writ the Assistant
District Attorney presented a complaint
sworn to on information and belief by
Captain Lees, accusing DINING OF will
fully and feloniously numbering Henry
Benhayon, on the 23d day of October
last.
This ended the habeas corpus proceed
ings, and places DINING on the defense
as the murderer of Benhayon. Circum.
stances have pointed to Dimmig as a per-
son who knew much more. than he would
tell about the death of Be%nhayon. He
is a friend Of DIR. Bowers, whose life de.

person, some of which were found in

doubtless had accomplices, that in the
hope of saving himself DINING will ex.
pose the plot, which was doubtless con-.
cocted by Bowers, which resulted in the
murder OF B~enhayon, and which for a
while seemed likely to release Bowers
from the gallows.

UNpEsIRAsLE IsMisRANrs.

The London Standard takes occasion
to warn the British Columbians against
the designs of an enterprising idiot who
is said to be collecting two thousand En-.
glish rabbits to ship to the colony.
California was recently threatened with
a similar visitation, says the Examiner.
The pests were to be brought by way of
Australia, a country in which they have
already accomplished more damage than
a war or a pestilence. Fortunately the
alarm proved to be a false one, and we
have escaped the invasion for the pres.
ent.
As in the curse OF its brief but active
career, every pair of English rabbits can
produce from 100 to 400 young, it would
take an energetic mathematician to figure
up the increase of the proposed British
Columbian accessions in a few years. 1t
would mount up into the billions in the
course of half a dozen generations, and
rabbit generations follow each other with
exceeding rapidity.
In Australia the Colonial governments
have gone to the expense of building
thousands Of miles of wire fence to keep
the plaques away from the areas still un.
invaded. 1t would be worth millions of
dollars a year to the colonies to have the
vermin exterminated. Yet this amiable
friend Of British Columbia proposes de.
libe-ately to subject that province to the
same affection
The worst of this threatened folly is
that if the rabbits are introduced into
British Columbia, they will inevitably
spread down the coast. California will
have her share Of them as she has Of
Victoria.landed Chinese. 1t will be i'm.
possible to quarantine agains. them after
they get ashore, and our only hope is
that the colonists will be sufficiently
awake to their own interests to ship the
cargo back to England or have it dumped
into the sea.

How He Became Solid,

1t is a w~ell-krown fact that you cannot
hire a Chinaman to have a coffin built fol-
a relative who may die, by any one in town
except cold Haynes" Why this is thus
was explained to US recently. Some years
ago, when undertaken Leversee died, cold
Haynes purchased a lot of old traps from
the estate, among which were a number OF
enblems of different Orders used to trim
casks. Some time after this purchase
Haynes had a call for a coffin for a Chi.
nese Mason. He finished the casket, and
happening to see some of the emblems
kicking around the shop, he picked them
up and nailed a dozen or more on the sides
and lid of the coffin. When the Cinnamon
came for the box they were highly de-
lighted, and pointed with much pride to
the different emblems, none of which they
recognized it is safe to say. They were
ornaments, however, in their eyes, and
that was sufficient. Some of the Amer
leans were anxious enough to witness
the ceremonies to go Chinatown, and
there they were surprised on looking
at the coffin to learn as they sup
been a member of nearly every Order
known to exist. cold Haynes had nailed
the emblems on the coffin rather promis-
cuous like" representing all the Orders
from the Masons to the Good Templars.
"Old Haynes explained the natter, and
has since held the Chinese trade in cofins
by cutting out tin emblems and putting
them on their collins. He says he is solid
with the big M~ongolians now, but for
goodness sake don't give it away.-Lyon

A Poker

On Friday a roughly dressed, verdant
looking individual, Mailing from Battle
Mountain, landed in Reno, and soon dis
played an inclination to indulge in a game
of draw poker. He was soon accommo.
dated and local sports undertook to lead
the u~nsuspecting lamb to the slaughter.
AS the game progressed it became evident
to the other players that the verdant APP.
pearing individual was holding remarka.
BILE luck, and when the game broke up Sat.
urday morning he had enriched himself
several hundred dollars. After a short
season Of rest he was again importuned to
anchor himself and resume the game. He
quickly acquiesced and the play was re.
sumed. As had been the case during the
night, fortune followed him until suspicion
was aroused, and it was surmised that he
was getting the better of his fellow play
ers by some game best known to himself.
In order to satisfy themselves on this point
a hand was run up for him, consisting of
three queens with a top hand in the pos
session OF one OF the other players. Bet
ting became lively, and when the Battle
Mountain chap, who gave his name as Col.
Inns, was called down, he displayed an ace
full instead of the three queens given to
him. A scene followed, pistols wee
drawn. and he was compelled to disgoree
sllO of the money won on the hand. He
wa. arrested for robbery, but after mature
deliberation the charge against him was
Withdrawn and be was allowed to depart.
Subsequent inquiry ELECTED the fact that
Collins is an expert with cards, having
done up Austin, Battle Mountain and
other pointsin the eastern part of the State.
